Catnaps

Helloo,

Maybe one of you dear forum friends can help me, maybe i just need a few tips or reassurance that i am not a bad mother as sometimes i am loosing hope that i will ever have my arms back and time for anything.

My nearly 3 month DS catnaps in a day for exactly 30mins and he wakes up. He wants to be held and rocked while walking around with him as he cant fall asleep otherwise. I didn't have that problem 2-3 weeks ago but something suddenly changed and i have to do that to get him to sleep. My arms are aching Confused and i don't know how many miles i am doing everyday. Sometimes if i can get him back to sleep after his 30min nap he can sleep for 2-3 hours. I cant do anything because when i put him down he wakes up (8 times out of 10) and when he miraculously doesn't wake up 30mins its not enough to do anything!
could it be 4 month sleep regression? Because seems like he cant link sleep cycles and thats why he wakes up after 30mins. He doesn't have problem with sleeping at night tho. When he falls a sleep around 6-7pm usually he will wake up when he gets hungry so roughly 2.5-3 h. He doesn't even wake up when i put him down thats why i am very confused. At night he wakes up every 2-3 hours but catnaps in a day. Maybe because its dark and he knows its night time. I was thinking to maybe let him sleep in a dark room but then he may mix day with night and thats not really realistic.
I am even thinking of taking him to craniologist/osteopath as they may be able to help him somehow.

I know it will pass i keep telling myself that everyday. I know my situation isn't that bad because other people are in worse situations but i feel like i haven't got a life atm.

Any advice or anything would be appreciated Smile
